Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the SOCKS5 failure on Linux Mint with Nextcloud Desktop 3.14.2, then trace the HostNotFoundError through src/libsync/abstractnetworkjob.cpp, src/libsync/networkjobs.cpp, src/gui/connectionvalidator.cpp, and src/gui/creds/webflowcredentials.cpp. Check how DNS resolution behaves through the proxy; done means the host is found and synchronization works again.
